Even gum chewing can improve your health as it has been proved that it has many health benefits like,
-Promoting good oral hygiene as it allows saliva to flow and flush away bacteria that can cause dental caries and bad breath.
-Promoting weight loss as the physical act of gum chewing may help to reduce your cravings for high calorie snacks. According to a group of scientists chewing gum can burn about 11 calories per hour. Also, chewing gum that is sweetened with Xylitol doesn’t raise blood sugar and hence helps to prevent weight gaining.
-Reducing symptoms of stress as recent research has shown that the rhythmic motion of chewing gum has a stress-reducing effect. In fact, the military supplied chewing gum to soldiers during World War I to help them reduce their levels of stress during combat duties. It is also known to increases alertness and concentration. That's why some teachers encourage students to chew gum during tests.
-Improving digestion as it helps to improve intestinal motility and prevents acid reflux from the stomach back into the throat.
-Smoking Cessation as putting a piece of gum in your mouth instead of lighting up will keep your mouth "busy". It can help you overcome the "oral fixation" many smokers are thought to have.
Now, think of all benefits and fun you can gain simply by chewing gum. Really, it deserves to become your sweet friend ;)
